In this video, we compare the Apple iPhone SE (2022) to Samsung’s A53 5G smartphone to find out who makes the best budget smartphone in 2022.

It’s kind of crazy to think that a phone that starts at $429 is what we consider to be “budget” range in 2022, but I digress. Both phones start at a $429 MSRP, and that’s about where the similarities end. We take a hard look at the offerings of both phones to decide whether a neutral shopper should look to Apple or Samsung for best the “budget” smartphone on the market.
